Someone want to port this script to hp-ux?

[Steven E. Protter]

Its a linux script that generates hash databases based on sendmail.mc and the /etc/mail text files.

newaliases
cd /etc/mail
makemap -r -v hash access.db < access
makemap -r -v hash domaintable.db < domaintable
makemap -r -v hash genericstable.db < genericstable
makemap -r -v hash mailertable.db < mailertable
makemap -r -v hash virtusertable.db < virtusertable
cp /etc/sendmail.cf /root
/etc/init.d/sendmail restart

I know the sendmail part won't work.

I'd make that

/sbin/init.d/sendmail stop
/sbin/init.d/sendmail start

A rabbit for the a any tested, working port.

If you're talking stock hp sendmail, the hp folks generally use dbm. You can tell by looking at the ruleset in sendmail.cf. e.g.
$grep domaintable sendmail.cf
Kdomaintable dbm /etc/mail/domaintable
says use dbm for domaintable

newaliases
cd /etc/mail
/usr/sbin/makemap dbm access < access
/usr/sbin/makemap dbm domaintable < domaintable
/usr/sbin/makemap dbm genericstable < genericstable
/usr/sbin/makemap dbm mailertable < mailertable
/usr/sbin/makemap dbm virtusertable < virtusertable

...

You don't have to restart sendmail - the databases are live. But if you prefer (as you noted),

/sbin/init.d/sendmail start
/sbin/init.d/sendmail stop

The aforementioned assumes domaintable, genericstable mailertable and virtusertable exists. A good script would test for them, or better yet, derive them from sendmail.cf.

#!/usr/bin/sh
newaliases
grep ^K /etc/mail/sendmail.cf |\
while read name type opt arg
do
file=${arg:-$opt}
case $type in
(dbm|btree|hash)
touch $file
makemap -rv $type $file < $file
;;
esac
done
